A putter is a type of golf club used to make relatively short and low-speed strokes with the intention of rolling the ball into the hole from a short distance. It is differentiated from other clubs by a clubhead with a very flat, low-profile, low-loft striking face, and by other features which are only allowed on putters, such as bent shafts, non-circular grips, and positional guides
. Additionally, "putter" can also be used as a verb to mean to do things in a relaxed way, without rushing or trying very hard
